Stationery is usually the first thing to run out after a rebrand, and the easiest to get wrong. We redesign the full set in one go and check every detail against your company records, so the new letterhead carries the right registered name and number from day one.
Stationery design

Legal details
What has to be on a company letterhead?
In the UK, a limited company’s letters must carry its registered name, registered number, place of registration and registered office address, as GOV.UK sets out. South Africa’s Companies Act asks for the company name and registration number on letters and invoices. The US has no single national rule, though some states and professions set their own.
We set these details in a quiet footer, so they are present without crowding the page.

Questions about stationery design
Question not here? Send it to us and we will answer it directly.
Ask a questionCan our staff type letters straight onto the design?
Yes. We build Word templates with the letterhead in the header and footer, text styles for headings and body copy, and fields that stay put when someone types. Your team opens the template, writes the letter and saves it as a PDF or prints it on plain paper, which makes pre-printed stock optional.
Should we print letterheads or keep them digital?
Many organisations use both. A digital template covers everyday letters, quotes and invoices sent by email. Printed letterheads still earn their place for formal letters, certificates and anything signed in ink, especially on a good uncoated stock. We design one layout that works both ways.
What decides the price of a stationery set?
How many pieces you need and how many people or offices they cover. A letterhead and compliment slip make a small job; a full set with envelopes, folders, Word templates and versions for three offices takes longer. Your quote is itemised, so you can start with the essentials and add the rest later.
Will our colours match in print and on screen?
As closely as the two allow. Printed stationery uses CMYK or a Pantone spot colour on uncoated paper, while Word templates and PDFs use RGB on screen. We choose values for each so your brand colour looks the same in the post and in the inbox, and list them for future jobs.
